My 5 year old is 47 inches tall and really wants this for Christmas. Is he too tall? Does anyone have a taller child that rides it comfortably?

That is about the same height as our oldest grandchild that rides in it, but not for long. He sits "high" now and will soon be out of leg room. There is a jeep that is much bigger that he rides comfortably and should be able to continue in it for a year plus.

Hello. My son is also five and 46" tall. He and his older buddies ride this comfortably. He wont get many more years out of it but at least a year, I think. If you live in warmer climate area, he should get plenty of use!

I bought this for my 4 yr old neices for Christmas last year. They are about 45 inches tall now. My six year old is able to ride comfortably in it, and she is a little about 48 inches. It has much more leg room than the pink mustang my sister bought her when she was 3, her legs are now very cramped in it. We are considering ordering this for her as well. The tires also have a real rubber grip in the center, and wear much better than most of the power toys. We have already had to replace the plastic tires on my daughters Mustang once because they were wearing through. They were $25 each!

My boy just turned 4 back in November and he's 42-43 inches tall. This bike fits him perfect but then again he seems more comfortable on his sisters 16 inch wheel bike. I hope this helps in making your decision. God Bless!

I bought it for a 2 year old and she lovd it. She still rides it every day and is now over 3. I think it's really too tall for a 1 year old, but would look great as decor until she's old enough to ride it.

My three year old is over 3 foot tall and still have adjustment for the height I would say purchase it you will be fine. It is a great bike which is like the strider but works just as well if not better. My boy loves it.

I am about 5ft 4in and it is a comfortable ride for me though it is on the larger size. It might be okay as long as you feel comfortable not being able to easily put your feet on the ground!

I think this bike would be too tall for him. I'd select a bike with a smaller wheel size. Our kids are five, and tall for their age, and I don't think they could have been riding this much sooner. Our kids are 42"+.

I have a tall 10 year old who still uses hers. I can ride it, too. I think there is only one size.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel. Have you looked into coaster bikes?

My three year old grandson is about 42" tall. I thought he was tall when we got the bike.I adjusted it as tall as it would go, and it was difficult for him to maneuver. I dropped the seat a little and he rides it every where. I guess I'm saying that at 42" he still has room.

I find this product pretty high. When my 4 year olds want to play on it I need to help them get on it as they cannot reach the higher side.The issue for your 3 and 5 year boys might be weight distribution, having the 5 year old controlling the up and down movements.Eventually kids today outgrow almost anything rather quickly. My kids after almost two months still likes to play on it but not on a daily basis.

No. My son is 5' 10-11" and he fits perfectly. I think you would be too tall to ride comfortably.

My grandson is now 5 and quite tall for his age. He still rides this bike and loves it. It was an excellent choice for us. Hope this helps.

My son bought one when he was 5 and it is small for him but he loves it and rides it all the time. My daughters that are 10,12 and 14 can all still get on it and ride around and they enjoy it also even though their legs are too long. Hope that helps.

I think it would be perfect for him. I bought it for my daughter and she weighs 75 pounds and she still rides it. She has gotten taller over the summer (4'10") and she wishes the handlebar was a little higher now.

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

My son just turned 7 and he has no trouble with it. It's a lot of fun and I ride it too. He would have been fine with the smaller size but at the time I was afraid it would be too small so I'm happy with the one he has.

Probably a tall three year old could ride it. My four year old grandson does very well. Great toy.
